B~CKCR~3UNI) OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention This invention relates to novel salt compounds containing onium cations and non-nucleophilic cornplex metallate anions and more particularly, it relates to anions with at least partially fluorinated ligands coordinated to the metal. It also relates to the use of the compounds as novel initiators for the cationic polymerization of various monomers.
Back~round of the Art Iodonium, oxonium, sulfonium, sulfoxonium, and various other onium salts are well known in the art, particularly as initiators of cationic and free radical polymerization. The effectiveness of these onium salts as initiators in cationicpolymerizations, and particularly in achieving high molecular weight polymers, is known to be greatly influenced by the nucleophilic nature of the anion employed in the salt. Generally, non-nucleophilic anions function much better than their 2 0 nucleophilic counterparts. This is because strong nucleophilic anions have a much greater tendency to terminate the polymer chain ~an do non-nucleophilic anions.
Examples of nucleophilic anions which are recognized as being detrimental counterions include fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, bisulfide, cyanide, bicarbonate, carbonate, nitlate, hydroxide, carboxylates, sulfonates, and trifluoromethanesulfonate (also referred to commonly as "triflate").
~xamples of non-nucleophilic anions include hexafluorophosphate ~1-), hexafluoroarsenate (l-), tetrafluoroborate (1-), hexafluoroantimonate (1-), tetraphenylborate (1-), and perchlorate. The use of such non-nucleophilic ions as counterions for nucleophilic sensitive cations is known, e.g., triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate is a known stable complex. (see Meerwein, H. Org. Syn. 1966,113, 120).
~ ~ 3 ~
Triflate species, when paired w;th various materials, have been used as counterions. ~or example, the trifluoromethanesulfonate substituted tin centered anion is known as a counterion ;n organometallic complexes involving the +4 oxidation state of tin (see Mallela, et al., Can. J. Chem. 1987, 65, 2640). By further 5 way of example, tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)iodate (1-) anion has been prepared as salts with alkali metals (see Dalziel, J. R.; Aubke, F., Inorg. Chem. 1973, 12, 2707) and tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)boric acid is known in the art for use in Friedel-Crafts alkylations (see Miethchen, R. et al., Chem. 1986, 26, 168).
U.S. Patent No. 4,721,559 discloses the use of boron, aluminum, and gallium 1 0 perfluoroalkane sulfonates as Friedel-Crafts catalysts.
U.S. Patent No. 4,547,474 discloses the use of C", to C,8 perfluorinated alkanesulfonic acid based superacidic catalys~s in various hydrocarbon conversion processes.
U.S. Patent No. 4,472,268 discloses a process for upgrading natural gasoline 15 by treatment with a liquid ternary catalyst system comprising trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and hydrogen fluoride in conjunction with a Lewis Acid catalyst of the formula MX, where M is selected from Groups IIIA, IVB, or V elements of the Periodic Table, X is halogen, and n is a number varying from 3 to 6.
2 0 ~UMMARY OF THlE INV~ NTION
The present invention provides an effective initiator for the cationic polymerization of a wide variety of cationically polymerizable monomers. Also provided is a process using the initiators of this invention in cationic polymerization reactions.
Briefly, the inventive initiator comprises an onium cation which is effective inthe cationic polymerization of various monomers and a non-nucleophilic anion which does not interfere with cationic polymerization reactions. The inventive initiator comprises a compound which may be represented by the following formula:
~a [(RS03)nM)]~-203~1f)~
whcrein:
Y is a cation sel~cted from ~he group consisling of oxonium, sulfonium, sulfoxonium, selenonium, i(xtonium, diazonium, pyrylium, carbenium, and acylium cations;
R is independently selected from the group consisting of:
F F F
Rl--C-- and R,~
F F F
R, is hydrogen, halogen, an alkyl group or an aryl group;
F is fluorine;
M is an element chosen f.om Groups 3-15, inclusive, of the Periodic table;
z is 1, 2, 3, or 4; and ~ and n are integers with the proviso z < n and that integer a multiplied by integer b e~quals z.
The novel polymerization process of the present invention comprises intimately contacting a cationically polymerizable monomer with a cationic polymerization initiator of the for nula 2 0 Ya [(RSO3)nM)]Z~
as defined above, thereby initiating polymerization of said monomer. Preferably, the intimate contacting is done in solution. Generally, the mere intimate contacting of the initiator and monomer will be sufficient to effect initiation of cationic polymerization.
However, it will be preferable in some cases, depending upon the type of initiator, to help induce initiation or accelerate the reaction through the use of heat or actinic radiation.
Comparison to the Prior Art Various types of perfluorosulfonato-containing compounds are known in the prior art and have been used as counterion ions with simple cations, e.g., potassium iodine tetraKis(trifluoromethanesulfonate)iodate (1-) (see Dalziel, J. R.; Aubke, F.
Inorg. Chem. 1973, 12, 2707). The initiators of the present invention differ because 20341G~
the cationic species is an alkyl or aryl substituted non-meta]lic cation and nvt an alkali metal like potassium and additionally, iodine is not wi~hin the scope of anion of the present invention. The foregoing reference also makes no mention of lising the potassium salt of iodine triflate in hydrocarbon conversion reactions.
S. R. Mallela et al. disclosed ~he existence of a series of hetero-bimetallic fluorosulfonate bridged coordination polymers of the type M(Il)Sn(SO3F)6 whereinM(II) = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, or Cu. (see Mallela, S.P. et al, Can. J. Chem. 1987, 65,2649). The present invention differs from this reference because the cation in the present invention is alkyl- or aryl-substituted and the anion contains alkyl or aryl groups, the presence of which in the anion help to prevent the termination of the polymer chain by a strong nucleophile such as fluorine. No disclosure is given by the reference for use of the disclosed coordination polymer in any hydrocarbon conversion reactions such as cationic polymerization.
The perfluoroalkanesulfonates of boron, aluminum, and gallium, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,721,55~ are all charge neutral species unlike the negatively charged anionic species of the present invention.
The perfluorinated alkanesulfonic acids disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,547,474 are conventional protic acids containing an anion with no metallic substance.
Furthermore, the sulfonic acids are all absorbed on supports, such as silica, to which 2 0 Lewis acids are bonded. The present invention does not require supports to absorb the cation and anion of the initiator.
Unlike the prior art, the present invention pertains to certain alkyl or aryl substituted onium cations in combination with at least partially fluorinated alkanesulfanatometallate counterions. A particularly effective cationic polymerization initiator is achieved because the onium cations are all effective initiators of cationic polymerization and the at least partially fluorinated counterions employed are all non-nucleophilic and therefore serve to terminate the polymerization reaction less than conventional, prior art polymerization terminators do. Consequently, as will be seen by the examples later herein, the inventive polymerization initiators help produce 3 0 higher molecular weight polymers.
2(~3Al.~8 DETAII,ED DE~CRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
-The novel cationic polymerization initiators of the present invention may be represented by the fornu~la:

The substituents Oll the oxonium, sulfonium, sulfoxonium, and iodonium cations may 2 5 either be individually distinct or be connected to each other so as to form one or more rings, including aromatic rings, containing the heteroatom O, S, or I.
The onium cations employed in the present invention are prepared by those methods which are well known to those skilled in the art. Typically in the same reaction that the onium cation is formed, an anionic (counterion) species will also be 30 formed and thus an onium salt is created in the overall process. For example,trialkyloxonium salts with perhalogenated complex anions are generally prepared by alkylation of dialkyl ethers using alkyl halides as alkylating agents in the presence of strong halide acceptors such as halogenated Lewis acids (Perst, H. Carbonium lons;
~03~
,7 Olah, G.A.; Schleyer, P.v.R., Eds.; John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1976, 1961-2047).
Additionally, oxonium salts may also be prepared by using perfluoroalkanesulfonated Lewis acid - ether adducts in the presence of epichlorohydrin via the intermediacy of an inner oxonium salt similar to procedures known in the art to incorporate the 5 perfluorinated anions in the oxonium salts (see Meer~,vein, H.; Battenberg, E.; Gold, H.; Pfeil, E.; William, G. J. Prakt. Chem. 1939,154, 83; Meerwein, H.; Hinz, G.;Hoffman, P.; Kronig, E.; Pfeil, E. J. Prakt. Chem., 1937,147, 257; and Meerwein, H.
Org. Synth. 1966, 46, 113).
Trialkyloxonium salts of the present invention may also be prepared by using 10 secondary oxonium ion salls with a per(perfluoroalkanesulfonated) complex anion using diazo alkanes similar to the procedure known in the art for the preparation of certain perfluorinated oxonium salts (see Klages, F.; Meuresch, H. Chem. Ber. 1952, 85, 863; and Klages, F.; Meuresch, H.; Steppich, W. Ann. Chem. Liebigs. 1955, 592, 116). Furthermore, disproportionation of the perfluoroalkanesulfonated strong Lewis 15 acid-ether adducts also gives oxonium salts similar to those described herein ~see Goodrich, RA.; Treichel, P.M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1966, 88, 350~). Oxonium salts of the present invention are also prepared using trans-alkylation reactions. Thus, trimethyloxonium tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)aluminate was prepared usingtriethyloxonium tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)aluminate in dimethyl ether in 2 0 respectable yield.
Diaryliodonium salts of the present invention can be prepared by the action of diaryliodonium perfluoroalkanesulfonates on appropriate perfluoroalkanated Lewisacids (e.g., diaryliodonium tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)borate(l-)), or by the action of diaryliodonium perfluoroalkanesulfonates on appropriate halogenated Lewis 25 acids followed by removal of halides using required amounts of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid. In lieu of diaryliodonium perfluoroalkanesulfonates, the corresponding halides or pseudohalides can be employed with perfluoroalkanesulfoated or halogenated Lewis acids followed by a stoichiometricamount of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid. Diaryliodonium salts of the present inventiGn 30 are also conveniently prepared using the corresponding halides with appropriate metal salts of a per(perfluoroalkanesulfonated) complex anion (e.g., coinage and alkali metal salts as exemplified by the preparation of diphenyliodonium tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)borate(1-) using silver -8- ~33~
tetrakis(trifluoromethanesl11fonato)borate(1-)). This procedure is similar to those known in the arl viz. use of alkali metal salts with perfluorinated anions (see Crivello, J.V.; Lam, H.W. .1. Polym. Sci. .Symp. 1976, 36, 383; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,151,175;

B~CKCR~3UNI) OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention This invention relates to novel salt compounds containing onium cations and non-nucleophilic cornplex metallate anions and more particularly, it relates to anions with at least partially fluorinated ligands coordinated to the metal. It also relates to the use of the compounds as novel initiators for the cationic polymerization of various monomers.
Back~round of the Art Iodonium, oxonium, sulfonium, sulfoxonium, and various other onium salts are well known in the art, particularly as initiators of cationic and free radical polymerization. The effectiveness of these onium salts as initiators in cationicpolymerizations, and particularly in achieving high molecular weight polymers, is known to be greatly influenced by the nucleophilic nature of the anion employed in the salt. Generally, non-nucleophilic anions function much better than their 2 0 nucleophilic counterparts. This is because strong nucleophilic anions have a much greater tendency to terminate the polymer chain ~an do non-nucleophilic anions.
Examples of nucleophilic anions which are recognized as being detrimental counterions include fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, bisulfide, cyanide, bicarbonate, carbonate, nitlate, hydroxide, carboxylates, sulfonates, and trifluoromethanesulfonate (also referred to commonly as "triflate").
~xamples of non-nucleophilic anions include hexafluorophosphate ~1-), hexafluoroarsenate (l-), tetrafluoroborate (1-), hexafluoroantimonate (1-), tetraphenylborate (1-), and perchlorate. The use of such non-nucleophilic ions as counterions for nucleophilic sensitive cations is known, e.g., triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate is a known stable complex. (see Meerwein, H. Org. Syn. 1966,113, 120).
~ ~ 3 ~
Triflate species, when paired w;th various materials, have been used as counterions. ~or example, the trifluoromethanesulfonate substituted tin centered anion is known as a counterion ;n organometallic complexes involving the +4 oxidation state of tin (see Mallela, et al., Can. J. Chem. 1987, 65, 2640). By further 5 way of example, tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)iodate (1-) anion has been prepared as salts with alkali metals (see Dalziel, J. R.; Aubke, F., Inorg. Chem. 1973, 12, 2707) and tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)boric acid is known in the art for use in Friedel-Crafts alkylations (see Miethchen, R. et al., Chem. 1986, 26, 168).
U.S. Patent No. 4,721,559 discloses the use of boron, aluminum, and gallium 1 0 perfluoroalkane sulfonates as Friedel-Crafts catalysts.
U.S. Patent No. 4,547,474 discloses the use of C", to C,8 perfluorinated alkanesulfonic acid based superacidic catalys~s in various hydrocarbon conversion processes.
U.S. Patent No. 4,472,268 discloses a process for upgrading natural gasoline 15 by treatment with a liquid ternary catalyst system comprising trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and hydrogen fluoride in conjunction with a Lewis Acid catalyst of the formula MX, where M is selected from Groups IIIA, IVB, or V elements of the Periodic Table, X is halogen, and n is a number varying from 3 to 6.
2 0 ~UMMARY OF THlE INV~ NTION
The present invention provides an effective initiator for the cationic polymerization of a wide variety of cationically polymerizable monomers. Also provided is a process using the initiators of this invention in cationic polymerization reactions.
Briefly, the inventive initiator comprises an onium cation which is effective inthe cationic polymerization of various monomers and a non-nucleophilic anion which does not interfere with cationic polymerization reactions. The inventive initiator comprises a compound which may be represented by the following formula:
~a [(RS03)nM)]~-203~1f)~
whcrein:
Y is a cation sel~cted from ~he group consisling of oxonium, sulfonium, sulfoxonium, selenonium, i(xtonium, diazonium, pyrylium, carbenium, and acylium cations;
R is independently selected from the group consisting of:
F F F
Rl--C-- and R,~
F F F
R, is hydrogen, halogen, an alkyl group or an aryl group;
F is fluorine;
M is an element chosen f.om Groups 3-15, inclusive, of the Periodic table;
z is 1, 2, 3, or 4; and ~ and n are integers with the proviso z < n and that integer a multiplied by integer b e~quals z.
The novel polymerization process of the present invention comprises intimately contacting a cationically polymerizable monomer with a cationic polymerization initiator of the for nula 2 0 Ya [(RSO3)nM)]Z~
as defined above, thereby initiating polymerization of said monomer. Preferably, the intimate contacting is done in solution. Generally, the mere intimate contacting of the initiator and monomer will be sufficient to effect initiation of cationic polymerization.
However, it will be preferable in some cases, depending upon the type of initiator, to help induce initiation or accelerate the reaction through the use of heat or actinic radiation.
Comparison to the Prior Art Various types of perfluorosulfonato-containing compounds are known in the prior art and have been used as counterion ions with simple cations, e.g., potassium iodine tetraKis(trifluoromethanesulfonate)iodate (1-) (see Dalziel, J. R.; Aubke, F.
Inorg. Chem. 1973, 12, 2707). The initiators of the present invention differ because 20341G~
the cationic species is an alkyl or aryl substituted non-meta]lic cation and nvt an alkali metal like potassium and additionally, iodine is not wi~hin the scope of anion of the present invention. The foregoing reference also makes no mention of lising the potassium salt of iodine triflate in hydrocarbon conversion reactions.
S. R. Mallela et al. disclosed ~he existence of a series of hetero-bimetallic fluorosulfonate bridged coordination polymers of the type M(Il)Sn(SO3F)6 whereinM(II) = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, or Cu. (see Mallela, S.P. et al, Can. J. Chem. 1987, 65,2649). The present invention differs from this reference because the cation in the present invention is alkyl- or aryl-substituted and the anion contains alkyl or aryl groups, the presence of which in the anion help to prevent the termination of the polymer chain by a strong nucleophile such as fluorine. No disclosure is given by the reference for use of the disclosed coordination polymer in any hydrocarbon conversion reactions such as cationic polymerization.
The perfluoroalkanesulfonates of boron, aluminum, and gallium, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,721,55~ are all charge neutral species unlike the negatively charged anionic species of the present invention.
The perfluorinated alkanesulfonic acids disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,547,474 are conventional protic acids containing an anion with no metallic substance.
Furthermore, the sulfonic acids are all absorbed on supports, such as silica, to which 2 0 Lewis acids are bonded. The present invention does not require supports to absorb the cation and anion of the initiator.
Unlike the prior art, the present invention pertains to certain alkyl or aryl substituted onium cations in combination with at least partially fluorinated alkanesulfanatometallate counterions. A particularly effective cationic polymerization initiator is achieved because the onium cations are all effective initiators of cationic polymerization and the at least partially fluorinated counterions employed are all non-nucleophilic and therefore serve to terminate the polymerization reaction less than conventional, prior art polymerization terminators do. Consequently, as will be seen by the examples later herein, the inventive polymerization initiators help produce 3 0 higher molecular weight polymers.
2(~3Al.~8 DETAII,ED DE~CRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The substituents Oll the oxonium, sulfonium, sulfoxonium, and iodonium cations may 2 5 either be individually distinct or be connected to each other so as to form one or more rings, including aromatic rings, containing the heteroatom O, S, or I.
The onium cations employed in the present invention are prepared by those methods which are well known to those skilled in the art. Typically in the same reaction that the onium cation is formed, an anionic (counterion) species will also be 30 formed and thus an onium salt is created in the overall process. For example,trialkyloxonium salts with perhalogenated complex anions are generally prepared by alkylation of dialkyl ethers using alkyl halides as alkylating agents in the presence of strong halide acceptors such as halogenated Lewis acids (Perst, H. Carbonium lons;
~03~
,7 Olah, G.A.; Schleyer, P.v.R., Eds.; John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1976, 1961-2047).
Additionally, oxonium salts may also be prepared by using perfluoroalkanesulfonated Lewis acid - ether adducts in the presence of epichlorohydrin via the intermediacy of an inner oxonium salt similar to procedures known in the art to incorporate the 5 perfluorinated anions in the oxonium salts (see Meer~,vein, H.; Battenberg, E.; Gold, H.; Pfeil, E.; William, G. J. Prakt. Chem. 1939,154, 83; Meerwein, H.; Hinz, G.;Hoffman, P.; Kronig, E.; Pfeil, E. J. Prakt. Chem., 1937,147, 257; and Meerwein, H.
Org. Synth. 1966, 46, 113).
Trialkyloxonium salts of the present invention may also be prepared by using 10 secondary oxonium ion salls with a per(perfluoroalkanesulfonated) complex anion using diazo alkanes similar to the procedure known in the art for the preparation of certain perfluorinated oxonium salts (see Klages, F.; Meuresch, H. Chem. Ber. 1952, 85, 863; and Klages, F.; Meuresch, H.; Steppich, W. Ann. Chem. Liebigs. 1955, 592, 116). Furthermore, disproportionation of the perfluoroalkanesulfonated strong Lewis 15 acid-ether adducts also gives oxonium salts similar to those described herein ~see Goodrich, RA.; Treichel, P.M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1966, 88, 350~). Oxonium salts of the present invention are also prepared using trans-alkylation reactions. Thus, trimethyloxonium tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)aluminate was prepared usingtriethyloxonium tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)aluminate in dimethyl ether in 2 0 respectable yield.
Diaryliodonium salts of the present invention can be prepared by the action of diaryliodonium perfluoroalkanesulfonates on appropriate perfluoroalkanated Lewisacids (e.g., diaryliodonium tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)borate(l-)), or by the action of diaryliodonium perfluoroalkanesulfonates on appropriate halogenated Lewis 25 acids followed by removal of halides using required amounts of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid. In lieu of diaryliodonium perfluoroalkanesulfonates, the corresponding halides or pseudohalides can be employed with perfluoroalkanesulfoated or halogenated Lewis acids followed by a stoichiometricamount of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid. Diaryliodonium salts of the present inventiGn 30 are also conveniently prepared using the corresponding halides with appropriate metal salts of a per(perfluoroalkanesulfonated) complex anion (e.g., coinage and alkali metal salts as exemplified by the preparation of diphenyliodonium tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)borate(1-) using silver -8- ~33~
tetrakis(trifluoromethanesl11fonato)borate(1-)). This procedure is similar to those known in the arl viz. use of alkali metal salts with perfluorinated anions (see Crivello, J.V.; Lam, H.W. .1. Polym. Sci. .Symp. 1976, 36, 383; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,151,175;
4,238,394; 4,683,317; 4,529,490 to Crivello). Metal salts of per(perfluoroalkanesulfonated) complex anions used in the preparation of said iodonium salts may conveniently be replaced by conjugate Br0nsted Lewis superacids having sarne type of complex anion sirnilar to procedures known in the art (Pappas, S.P.; Pappas, B.C.; Gatechair, L.R. J. Polym. Sci., Polym. Chem. Ed. 1984, 22, 69).
The procedures outlined for the preparation of diaryliodonium salts may e~ually be applied to that of triarylsulfonium salts of the present invention. The sulfonium salts, however, may also be prepared by the action of a diary]iodonium salt/
per(perfluoroalkanesulfonated) complex anion on a diarylsulfide using a copper salt as catalyst (see Crivello, J.V.; Lam, H.W. J. Polym. Sci., Polym. Chem. Ed. 1979,17, 977.
1~ The non-nucleophilic anion of the cationic polymerization initiator of the present invention is described by the formula:
[(~S03)nM~-2 0 and serves as a counterion to the cationic species YAb+.
In the foregoing forrnula each R is independently selected from the group consisting of:
F F F
2 5 R,--C-- and R
F F F
wherein R, represents either hydrogen, halogen, an alkyl group or an aryl group and F
is fluorine. Preferably, each R will individually represent a perfluorinated alkyl 3 0 radical or a perfluorinated aryl radical and most preferably, a C~-C,0 perfluorinated alkyl radical.
M is an element chosen from Groups 3-15, inclusive, of the Periodic Table as depicted in Chemical and Engineering News 1985, 63, 26. Preferably M is an ~ o ~
element chnsen from Groups 4-14 of the Periodic Table, and more preferably is chosen from the group of B, Al, Ga, Sn, Fe, ~r, I-lf, Nb, and 'ra.
In lhe foregoing formula, z is 1, 2, 3, or 4 and a, b, and n are integers such that ~ is less than or equal to n and the product of integer a multiplied by integer b equals ~.
As is well understood in this technical area, a large degree of substitution is not only tolerated, but is often advisable. As a means of simplifying the discussion and recitation of these groups, the terms "group" and "radical" are used to differentiate between chemical species that allow for substitution or which may be substituted. For example, the phrase "alkyl group" is intended to include not only pure hydxocarbon alkyl chains such as methyl, ethyl, octyl, cyclohexyl, isooctyl, tert-butyl and the like, but also such alkyi chains bearing such conventional substituents in the art such as hydroxyl, alkoxy, phenyl, halo (F, Cl, Br, I), cyano, nitro, amino, etc.
The phrase "alkyl radical" on the other hand is limited to the inclusion of only pure hydrocarbon alkyl chains such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, cyclohexyl, isooctyl, ter~-butyl, and the like.
Although the anion of the present invention can be formed in the same reaction with the onium cation thereby creating an onium salt as described earlier herein, there may be instances, as will be seen by the Examples, where it is appropriate to synthesize the anionic species separately and then combine it with an onium cation that has been separated from an onium salt.
Thus, per~luoroalkanesulfonated complex anions of the present invention can themselves be prepared by one or more of the following general procedures:
(1) Reaction of a perfluoroalkanesulfonated strong Lewis acid with a perfluoroalkanesulfonated precursor. Suitable precursors include, but are not limited to, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal perfluoroalkanesulfonates; ammonium and phosphonium, including alkyl and aryl substituted ammonium and phosphonium, perfluoroalkanesulfonates; alkyl perfluoroalkanesulfonates; pyridinium and substituted pyridinium perfluoroalkanesulfonates.
(2) ~emoval of halides (e.g., F-, Cl-, Br-, I-) or pseudo-halides (i.e., strongly electron withdrawing groups such as cyano, nitrosyl, thiocyanato, and the like) from a perhalogenated or per(pseudo-halogenated) or mixed halogenated-perfluoroalkanesulfonated complex anion by stoichiometric arllounts of perfllloroalkanesulfonic acids at sub-æro or higher temperature depending on the reactivity of the anion toward acids used.
Removal of halide from the colTesponding complex anion may also be effected by using coinage or aLkali metal perfluoroalkanesulfonates (e.g., silver triflate) to cause the precipitation of meta] halides.
(3) Removal of alkyls, aryls, halides or pseudo-halides from a peralkylated, perarylated, peralkarylated, mixed aLkyl~halogenated, mixed aryl-halogenated or mixed pseudo-halogenated cornplex anion by using appropriate equivalents of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid under conditions mentioned in (2). Because formation of alkanes or arenes by the action of acid is a highly favorable irreversible 15 thermodynamic process, it may result in ready preparation of the complex anions of present invention. Many metal alkyls are extremely reactive even to weak acids (e.g., alcohols (see Mole, T.; Jeffery, E.A.

Suitable monomers for polymerization by the initiators of the present invention are those which can be polymerized cationically through initiation by an alkyl, or aryl containing cation; examples include, but are not limited to, cyclic ethers such as epoxides (e.g., styrene oxide, vinylcyclohexene dioxide, glycidylmethacrylate, ethylene oxide, epichlorohydrin, etc.), oxetanes (e.g., oxetane, phenyloxetane, etc.), tetrahydrofurans (e.g., tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, etc.), tetrahydropyrans (tetrahydropyran, 3-propyltetrahydropyran, etc.), etc.; alkenyl monomers such asstyrene and its homologs, alkenylfurans, conjugated dienes (e.g., cyclopentadiene, 2,4-hexadiene, etc.), isobutylene, vinyl ethers (e.g., methyl vinyl ether, ethyl vinyl ether, octadecyl vinyl ether, phenyl vinyl ether, etc.) including fluorinated vinyl ethers;
lactones (e.g."B-propiolactone, ~-butyrolactone, o-caprolactone, etc.); oxazolines (e.g., 2(~34~
oxazolille, 2-phenyloxazoline, 2-decyloxazoline, etc.); aziridines (e.g., aziridine, N-ethylaziridine, etc.); cyclosiloxanes (e.g., hexamethyltri~iloxanes, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, triphenyltrimethylcyclotrisiloxane, etc.~; ketals (e g, 1,3-dioxolane, 1,3-dioxane, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane, 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxane, 2,2-dioctyl-1,3-dioxolane, etc ); cyclic anhydrides (e g, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, succinic anhydride, etc ); lactams (e.g., ~-propiolactam, ~-butyrolactam, o-caprolactam, etc.); and aryl dialdehydes (e.g., 1,2-benzenedicarboxaldehyde, 1,3-benzenedicarboxaldheyde, 1,2-naphthalenedialdehyde, etc.).
The monomer and cationic polymerization initiator should be brought into intimate contact with one another in order to initiate polymerization. As used herein, "intimate contact" between the initiator and the monomer occurs when the two arebrought into such direct or close physical contact that one nr more cationic groups which initiate polymerization are transferred from the initiator to the monomer.Typically this is done in solution. In some instances, depending upon the type of cationic initiator used, it will be preferable to use heat or actinic radiation to induce initiation of polymerization or increase its rate. The auxiliary conditions used in conjunction with certain cations is well known in the art, such as, for example, the use of heat in conjunction with oxonium cations and the use of actinic radiation and a photosensitizer in conjunction with iodonium cations.
Conditions for cationic polymerization of monomers is well known in the art.
For example, it is desirable to have essentially anhydrous solution conditions. It is also desirable to have high purity monomers. In order to effect many cationic polymerizations, it is necessary to supply a source of heat. In the case of photoinitiators, it is necessary to expose the photoinitiator to actinic radiation.

As can be seen from these examples, the synthesis of all the compounds 5 within Ihe scope of the invention can be perforrned by selecting the appropriate reagents and using the teachings of this specification and the reference materials cited.
The procedures outlined for the preparation of diaryliodonium salts may e~ually be applied to that of triarylsulfonium salts of the present invention. The sulfonium salts, however, may also be prepared by the action of a diary]iodonium salt/
per(perfluoroalkanesulfonated) complex anion on a diarylsulfide using a copper salt as catalyst (see Crivello, J.V.; Lam, H.W. J. Polym. Sci., Polym. Chem. Ed. 1979,17, 977.
1~ The non-nucleophilic anion of the cationic polymerization initiator of the present invention is described by the formula:
[(~S03)nM~-2 0 and serves as a counterion to the cationic species YAb+.
In the foregoing forrnula each R is independently selected from the group consisting of:
F F F
2 5 R,--C-- and R
F F F
wherein R, represents either hydrogen, halogen, an alkyl group or an aryl group and F
is fluorine. Preferably, each R will individually represent a perfluorinated alkyl 3 0 radical or a perfluorinated aryl radical and most preferably, a C~-C,0 perfluorinated alkyl radical.
M is an element chosen from Groups 3-15, inclusive, of the Periodic Table as depicted in Chemical and Engineering News 1985, 63, 26. Preferably M is an ~ o ~
element chnsen from Groups 4-14 of the Periodic Table, and more preferably is chosen from the group of B, Al, Ga, Sn, Fe, ~r, I-lf, Nb, and 'ra.
In lhe foregoing formula, z is 1, 2, 3, or 4 and a, b, and n are integers such that ~ is less than or equal to n and the product of integer a multiplied by integer b equals ~.
As is well understood in this technical area, a large degree of substitution is not only tolerated, but is often advisable. As a means of simplifying the discussion and recitation of these groups, the terms "group" and "radical" are used to differentiate between chemical species that allow for substitution or which may be substituted. For example, the phrase "alkyl group" is intended to include not only pure hydxocarbon alkyl chains such as methyl, ethyl, octyl, cyclohexyl, isooctyl, tert-butyl and the like, but also such alkyi chains bearing such conventional substituents in the art such as hydroxyl, alkoxy, phenyl, halo (F, Cl, Br, I), cyano, nitro, amino, etc.
The phrase "alkyl radical" on the other hand is limited to the inclusion of only pure hydrocarbon alkyl chains such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, cyclohexyl, isooctyl, ter~-butyl, and the like.
Although the anion of the present invention can be formed in the same reaction with the onium cation thereby creating an onium salt as described earlier herein, there may be instances, as will be seen by the Examples, where it is appropriate to synthesize the anionic species separately and then combine it with an onium cation that has been separated from an onium salt.
Thus, per~luoroalkanesulfonated complex anions of the present invention can themselves be prepared by one or more of the following general procedures:
(1) Reaction of a perfluoroalkanesulfonated strong Lewis acid with a perfluoroalkanesulfonated precursor. Suitable precursors include, but are not limited to, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal perfluoroalkanesulfonates; ammonium and phosphonium, including alkyl and aryl substituted ammonium and phosphonium, perfluoroalkanesulfonates; alkyl perfluoroalkanesulfonates; pyridinium and substituted pyridinium perfluoroalkanesulfonates.
(2) ~emoval of halides (e.g., F-, Cl-, Br-, I-) or pseudo-halides (i.e., strongly electron withdrawing groups such as cyano, nitrosyl, thiocyanato, and the like) from a perhalogenated or per(pseudo-halogenated) or mixed halogenated-perfluoroalkanesulfonated complex anion by stoichiometric arllounts of perfllloroalkanesulfonic acids at sub-æro or higher temperature depending on the reactivity of the anion toward acids used.
Removal of halide from the colTesponding complex anion may also be effected by using coinage or aLkali metal perfluoroalkanesulfonates (e.g., silver triflate) to cause the precipitation of meta] halides.
(3) Removal of alkyls, aryls, halides or pseudo-halides from a peralkylated, perarylated, peralkarylated, mixed aLkyl~halogenated, mixed aryl-halogenated or mixed pseudo-halogenated cornplex anion by using appropriate equivalents of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid under conditions mentioned in (2). Because formation of alkanes or arenes by the action of acid is a highly favorable irreversible 15 thermodynamic process, it may result in ready preparation of the complex anions of present invention. Many metal alkyls are extremely reactive even to weak acids (e.g., alcohols (see Mole, T.; Jeffery, E.A. Organoaluminum Cornpounds; Elsevier: New York, 1972); Giannini, U.; Zucchini, U.; Albiæati, E.; D'Angelo, R. Chem. Comm.,1969, 1174; Giannini, U.; Zucchini, U. Chem. Comm., 1968, 940; Pedley, J.B.;
Marshall, E.M. J. Phys. C~em., Ref. Data. 1984, 12, 967; Smoes, S.; Myers, C.E.;Drowart, J. Chem. Phys. Lett. 1971, 8, 10; Gupta, S.K.; Gingerich, K.A. J. Chem.Phys. 1981, 74, 3584; Stearns, C.A.; Kohl, F.J. High Temp. Sci. 1974, 6, 284).
Suitable monomers for polymerization by the initiators of the present invention are those which can be polymerized cationically through initiation by an alkyl, or aryl containing cation; examples include, but are not limited to, cyclic ethers such as epoxides (e.g., styrene oxide, vinylcyclohexene dioxide, glycidylmethacrylate, ethylene oxide, epichlorohydrin, etc.), oxetanes (e.g., oxetane, phenyloxetane, etc.), tetrahydrofurans (e.g., tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, etc.), tetrahydropyrans (tetrahydropyran, 3-propyltetrahydropyran, etc.), etc.; alkenyl monomers such asstyrene and its homologs, alkenylfurans, conjugated dienes (e.g., cyclopentadiene, 2,4-hexadiene, etc.), isobutylene, vinyl ethers (e.g., methyl vinyl ether, ethyl vinyl ether, octadecyl vinyl ether, phenyl vinyl ether, etc.) including fluorinated vinyl ethers;
lactones (e.g."B-propiolactone, ~-butyrolactone, o-caprolactone, etc.); oxazolines (e.g., 2(~34~
oxazolille, 2-phenyloxazoline, 2-decyloxazoline, etc.); aziridines (e.g., aziridine, N-ethylaziridine, etc.); cyclosiloxanes (e.g., hexamethyltri~iloxanes, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, triphenyltrimethylcyclotrisiloxane, etc.~; ketals (e g, 1,3-dioxolane, 1,3-dioxane, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane, 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxane, 2,2-dioctyl-1,3-dioxolane, etc ); cyclic anhydrides (e g, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, succinic anhydride, etc ); lactams (e.g., ~-propiolactam, ~-butyrolactam, o-caprolactam, etc.); and aryl dialdehydes (e.g., 1,2-benzenedicarboxaldehyde, 1,3-benzenedicarboxaldheyde, 1,2-naphthalenedialdehyde, etc.).
The monomer and cationic polymerization initiator should be brought into intimate contact with one another in order to initiate polymerization. As used herein, "intimate contact" between the initiator and the monomer occurs when the two arebrought into such direct or close physical contact that one nr more cationic groups which initiate polymerization are transferred from the initiator to the monomer.Typically this is done in solution. In some instances, depending upon the type of cationic initiator used, it will be preferable to use heat or actinic radiation to induce initiation of polymerization or increase its rate. The auxiliary conditions used in conjunction with certain cations is well known in the art, such as, for example, the use of heat in conjunction with oxonium cations and the use of actinic radiation and a photosensitizer in conjunction with iodonium cations.
Conditions for cationic polymerization of monomers is well known in the art.
For example, it is desirable to have essentially anhydrous solution conditions. It is also desirable to have high purity monomers. In order to effect many cationic polymerizations, it is necessary to supply a source of heat. In the case of photoinitiators, it is necessary to expose the photoinitiator to actinic radiation.
